advertising's involvement in consumer culture

Overproduction played a large role in the development of the consumer culture due to the fact that so many products were being produced at such a cheap cost.

Products were overpriced and bought with credit which led to credit failure

The 18th amendment of the constitution prohibited the selling of intoxicating beverages over 0.5% alcohol. This made a lot of people very angry. People started selling it illegally because the demand was very high

Government Action in the 1920's

In 1917, the U.S. Congress decided that the number of immigrants entering the country was way too high. So it enacted the first widely restrictive immigration law.

The controversy over national security, which started during World War I, “made it possible for Congress to pass this legislation, and it included several important provisions that paved the way for the 1924 Act” (“The Immigration” par. 2).

This is because the 1917 Act imput a literacy test that “made immigrants over 16 demonstrate basic reading comprehension in any language” (“The Immigration” par. 2).

This act increased the tax paid by the new citizens when they arrive and allowed immigration officials to use more discreet ways make decisions over who they can exclude as well.

The 1921 Emergency Quota Act was the “first U.S. law to create numerical quotas for immigration based on nationality” (“The Immigration” par. 1).

This was another law put in place to keep the exponential growth of immigration into the U.S. in check.

The number allowed was 3% of the foreign-born population of said nationality in the 1910 census.

This law still didn’t allow Asian immigrants inside the United States. The quotas didn’t apply to countries in the Western Hemisphere, government officials, or temporary visitors. “Under this law, total annual immigration was capped at 350,000” (“The Immigration” par. 1).
